In this chapter, Woolf got to the” war “concept by describing a luncheon in  some parts. This luncheon was kind of  like the routine in the university. She did wonder and enjoy the autumn views in the campus as usual. But then she came to the doubt that things had become a little bit different from what they were before the war. It turned out to be the humming noise accompanied by when people talked. Then she considered about her past attitude to the fact, the tailless Manx cat. Before the war, she might bursted into laughter if someone talked about the cat without a tail. But at that point, she started to think about why the cat lost its tail, “Was he really born so, or had he lost his tail in an accident” as the said in the passage.  It was strange of a cat without a tail, not to mention  a world just experienced a war.
